A Poet's Lament

[SmilingLez]

Poets
bleed
ink.
Unseen.
Unheard.
Unsung.
Our
words
rot.
Unread.
While
novels
dance
unapologetically.

 

[Xenofidelity78]

Words are wondrous yet unwieldy things. Often used for that which their authors did not intend. This place and its utility is subjective yet leans a particular direction. One that poetry unless written as smut doesn't qualify.

The Lament ...

Breathe Deep The Gathering Gloom ...
As Watch Lights Fade From Every Room.
Bedsitter People Look Back & Lament,
Another Day's Useless Images - Spent!

Impassioned Lovers Wrestle As One ...
A Lonely Man Cries For Love - and Has None!
A Young Mother Picks Up & Suckles Her Son ...
Senior Citizens Wish They Were Young.

Cold-Hearted Orb That Rules The Night ...
Removes The Colors From Our Sight.
Red Is Grey & Yellow White ...
Yet We Decide Which Is Right,
And Which Is An Illusion !!!

[ NB: Kudos To Moody Blues For The Inspiration ... ]​

Inspired.

A daydream takes flight.

Unshared.

It dies on the wing.

I am not very good with rhymes. Whenever I write rhyme, I think of magic spells or Dr Seuss (and giggle), so I've decided to make this my sandbox and attempt to create a story out of rhymes. My first stanza;

In a flat with black walls and a white porcelain floor,
Silence dripped slowly from the hinge of a door.
Jayne wore tight latex - the shade of old bones,
while Debbie kept her heart in a box of cracked I‑phones.


Feel free to add a comment even continue the rhyme and make it a chain erp/srp rhyme. Literotica rules apply, no minors, no animals, and consent is a must.
